In this blog post we discuss how NeuVector integrates with IBM Cloud Container Service to provide complete run-time container security for your production Kubernetes workloads. We are excited to partner together to demonstrate how quickly and easily users can deploy a Kubernetes cluster in IBM Cloud and then secure those workloads in this new and ever-changing container and microservice world.

We are excited to announce the availability of Kubernetes v1.9.1 for your clusters that are running in IBM Cloud Container Service. With the container service, you can easily upgrade your clusters without the need for deep Kubernetes knowledge. When you deploy new clusters, the default Kubernetes version is now v1.8.6, or you can choose to immediately deploy v1.9.1.

The complete deprecation and deletion of all running instances from the old container service in IBM Cloud will take place December 5, 2017. The deprecation of the old architecture was announced in July. The new version of the container service went live in May and has seen tremendous growth and capabilities.

The rate of change for the IBM Bluemix Container Service has been spectacular. Earlier this month, IBM announced a rebranding, and now we are IBM Cloud Container Service. The service is still the same great offering that launched in May 2017 and then expanded to support London and Sydney. Now we have more features to share.

In this blog post we discuss how Codeship integrates with IBM Bluemix Container Service to provide another cloud destination for your production workloads. The linked blog was written by Ethan Jones, a Customer Success Engineer at Codeship, responsible for helping customers to successfully utilize containers for Continuous Integration and Delivery. We are excited to partner together to demonstrate how quickly and easily users can deploy a Kubernetes cluster in the IBM Cloud and then deploy applications using the same delivery pipeline.

In this blog post we discuss how Instana integrates with IBM Bluemix Container Service to provide full visibility of your containerized applications, as they run in production. The linked tutorial was written by Pedro Pacheco, a Senior Solution Architect at Instana, with over 20 years of experience. We are excited to partner together to demonstrate how quickly and easily users can deploy a Kubernetes cluster in the IBM Cloud, deploy a sample application, and then leverage Instana’s Dynamic APM, which delivers visibility and performance management for dynamic containerized applications running in the cloud.

We’re excited to announce that Kubernetes 1.7 is available for IBM Bluemix Container Service. You can now update your Kubernetes master and worker nodes to the latest supported version of Kubernetes by using either the Bluemix dashboard or the CLI. To get the most of the 1.7 features, you must enable those features after you update. Before […]

In this blog post we discuss how Sematext integrates with IBM Bluemix Container Service to provide monitoring and logging visibility of your containerized applications, as they run in production. In the sections below, we demonstrate how to set up a Kubernetes cluster in Bluemix and how to set up Sematext in this cluster. IBM Cloud has monitoring and logging capabilities in the platform, but we know our customers operate in a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environment and we are very excited to partner with Sematext, enabling operational consistency across those environments. We worked with Alen Komljen, an Automation Engineer from Sematext, to create the following content and perform the technology validation.

We at Sysdig were happy to see IBM’s launch of their new container service. A very stable and well managed cluster environment for your apps and containers powered by IBM is a big step forward for both Kubernetes and the Cloud. And, in our humble opinion, pairing Bluemix up with a cornerstone container intelligence tool like Sysdig is a match made in Devops heaven. This blog was easy to write as it took 3 steps to get up and running with Bluemix’s excellent deployment and management CLI tools along with the Sysdig Monitor daemonset deployment. Read more!
